Strong Northern wind kept Steppe Eagles on the deck. Also Collared Pratincoles preferred to feed by jerky movements on ground and flying only ocassionally. Female Chaffinch is not any WP-highlight but locally good species. According to G. Gregory’s book it is seen every second year. My own records confirm this. Between 2004 and 2009 I have seen Chaffinch three times.
